You get your kicks out of going fast 1,320 feet at a time. Whooopeee. That's like banging your own sister...yeah, you're getting laid but it's your sister. Taking a well handling/balanced car to a real race track where you actually turn the steering wheel to the left and to the right is like banging Eva Longoria. See the difference?

i don't want to become an outcast, but i'd rather have an m3 over a 335 any day.

+1

This is my first BMW, won't be my last. In fact, the plan is to purchase a CPO'd 2013 M3 after I enjoy my 335 a few years, probably middle 2015. But alot depends on what the new M looks like, also the F30 335 coupe.

M3 is a special car no doubt, I always give em props when I see them on the road. Unless its a vert. jk jk.

My E92 335i is my first BMW. I would have loved to have been able to get an E92 M3, but I couldn't afford it. So, I put a tune and intake on my car and I'm pretty happy with it, overall. I still see M3 coupes on the road and drool a little, though.

Gonna disagree there. The DCT, handling and styling is so much better on the M3 I truly prefer it to my dearly departed V10 (but I can certainly understand your differing opinion, mostly due to THAT engine I'm guessing!).

Yeah...I was kind of being sarcastic. They really are two different cars (the e9x M3 and the e60 M5); it really does come down to preference and what you enjoy doing with the car. No way I could hang with an M3 in the twisties with my M5, but WOW that 500hp was something. I miss that car so much.

The two main advantages of the M3 over the standard E9x lie in the handling and, arguably, in the engine.

Come on.. there is NO arguing about it. The S65 is a far superior engine and that is not debatable. Can the 335's engine be modded for more power than a stock S65? Sure. An S65 can be modded too. However, the power that can be created through modding has little to do with the quality of the engine. Debate which car is the better performance "value" all you want but let's not start silly debates on which engine is better.

How do you like having no breaks? 335 is a great car but there is a reason the M3 is in a different league, you can make any car fast especially FI, how do you feel when STI, Evo, Srt-4, civic turbo etc, etc man handle your 335 while paying less money to start. I know you are all proud of the 335 as you should be but if you had a choice to buy either an M3 or a 335 I'm sure you all would pick the M3; please don't lie to yourself. I had a choice and choose the M3.
